Updated: Oct 25, 2022


The Lady Rams traveled to Rockford this past Sunday Oct. 16 to compete in the Rock Valley College Jamboree, an annual basketball tournament of 25-plus junior college teams.

The Rams played in three exhibition games at the tournament which served as preparation for the teams first regular season game against College of Lake County on Nov. 1 at Wright College.

Game one of the Jamboree was a matchup between Wright and Madison College. The Lady Rams came up short against the Wolf Pack, 37-32. Despite the loss, the Lady Rams had an encouraging start to the season, with the offense coming alive thanks to four players each scoring more than six points. Ariana Castro led the team in scoring with nine points with Tyler Mayne chipping in with eight points. Coach Smith's defensive strategy was on full display, with the team coming out of the game with eight steals.
